The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s how it’s shaping up for The Reef (Haifa). Straight up: we’ve got a long, quiet period ahead. No surf worth mentioning for at least the first week and a half – just tiny, choppy, weak waves that won’t get you anywhere. The water’s sitting at 86°F on the first day, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The whole 16-day outlook is pretty flat. The only faint hope shows up on Monday morning, the 7th of September – that’s two weeks away – when the swell nudges up to 3ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. Still small, but the combined swell energy hits 101 (moderate energy), and the wind is light and onshore, so it’ll be glassy but probably weak. That’s it – one small window. For a beach-and-reef spot like this, a long run of nothing is normal when the swell direction isn’t cooperating. No proper standouts at all.
If you’re itching to surf, keep an eye on that Monday the 7th, but don’t count on much. Forecasts can always change, but right now, this is a tough one to get excited about.
Rusty.

Information about the The Reef (Haifa) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Reef (Haifa) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Reef (Haifa) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Reef (Haifa) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (The Reef (Haifa)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
